[QUOTE="Dave, post: 255814, member: 498"] It sort of sounds like you are describing what we called a "farmers eye" when I was working in the woods. They hold reasonably well and if you understand how to throw them on the end of a piece of line they are quick. A person can also just splice an eye in the cable. A marlin spike works best but a good size screw driver will work. Make a loop the size you want the eye to be. Leave about a foot of cable behond the loop. Unwind one strand back to the loop. Push your screw driver under two strands where you want the splice to start. Pull that unwond strand throuhg next to the screw driver. Pull it tight. Pull the screw driver out. Go up one strand and stick it back under two strands. Unwind the next strand up on the end of your line. and do like you did with the first one. Once you have all the strands tucked one go back the the first one. Go over one and under two with all of the strands. This is a double tuck splice. It will hold all you are going to pull with half inch cable or smaller. Dave [/QUOTE]
